I've seen this problem re-surface from time to time over the years. We
have a little Rexx script that we run before bringing up our TSM server
that re-configures devices to get around this problem. Here's our script:
#!/usr/local/bin/rxx
/*
adsm.device.configure - configure ADSM devices that don't come up as
available, just defined.
*/
'/etc/lsdev -C -s scsi -S d'
q = queued()
xrc = popen('/etc/lsdev -C -s scsi -S d')
do while (queued() > q)
parse pull dev state .
select
when (state <> "Defined") then iterate
when (left(dev,2) = "lb") then nop
when (left(dev,2) = "mt") then nop
otherwise iterate
end
'/etc/mkdev -l' dev
end
'/etc/lsdev -C -s scsi | /bin/sort -k3'
This works with Regina Rexx. It's quite simple, and i'm sure someone could
write a shell script or perl script that does the same thing.
